Read this in the paper:- "While saying goodnight to my ten year old son, I noticed he was looking more thoughtful than usual so I asked him what was on his mind. He replied; 'Im thinking about what I want to do when Im older.' I asked what he had decided, and he said: 'I think I'll be a dustman: they only work one day a week.'"

lol, Bev. I seen this in yesterday's Scottish Daily Mail. I always read the out of the mouth of babes bit, it's usually very funny. Mind you the "jokes" they sometimes print are totally unfunny. Tricia

Our son wanted to be a dustman too but he wanted to collect all the toys and fix them to the front of the lorry, like the bin men did near our house. Later he wanted to be an astronaut, - but changed his mind after climbing up to the top of a church tower on an open day and thinking that was too high! Yes, he's had quite a few ideas on his way to finding the right job for him!
